silvio Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hey to all the float fisherman out there I was wondering what pound test you all use on your centerpin reels. I currently use 10 lb p line flouro clear I have never broken my main line on a salmon or rainbow. So it has been working well for me but I am concerned that maybe ruining a 10 lb main line may be visible to the fish. I do use flouro carbon leader. What do all you float fisherman think does main line make a difference or as long as you’re using flouro your main line lb test doesn’t matter much? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutologist Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I run 10lb Raven mainline (smoke color) never broke it off. I used to run 10lb siglon in fluorescent yellow down south but up here Im rarely worried about crossing others lines. I also tend to run a longer fluoro lead. depending on the run Im fishing either a combo of 6 shot line/ 4 lead or a 3 foot lead with the shot right on it. Only fish I broke off on a centerpin was the first 10lb class bow I had on... Granted the rivers I fish right now are deeper faster flows....albeit quite clear at some locations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnpro Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 For salmon I like to use 12lb andy line. Toughest line iv ever used and have never broken off..........I usually like to downsize for rainbow especially in the spring. -Fishnpro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
